Battambang

Battambang is a classically quaint provincial capital with old-world architecture and pagodas along a river. The city has a charming colonial-era architecture, a budding art scene, and a local cuisine to explore. It is also a base for excursions into the nearby countryside, which offers scenic views of villages, rice paddies, old pagodas, Angkorian era ruins, caves, mountains, waterfalls, and the famous 'bamboo train.' The city is situated on the Sangkae River and features a range of cultures and natural resources, with seventy-five percent of the area being jungles and mountains. Battambang is also known as the 'rice bowl of Cambodia' due to its fertile rice fields and agricultural economy
